Chapter 72 Retreat

As soon as Zhao Cong was taken down, before Ziying could turn around, another scout rushed over.

"Young Master, a Zhao army was found 10 miles outside the city. They were rushing towards Bairen City. I would like to ask you to inform me."

"How many soldiers are there?"

"About four or five thousand people." The scout replied.

The Zhao army who rushed to the Bai people was Zhao Lin and his 5,000 "guards". After setting off to attack the Zhao army in the Qin army camp, he originally tasted fine wine leisurely in the rear, and imagined his bright future after his victory.

Although after the victory, the first merit will naturally be picked by Zhao Cong, as the "frontier general" who personally led the army, he will definitely have a lot of military achievements. If he is lucky, he will not be able to get a fief.

But not long after the beautiful dream, I heard deafening shouts from the direction of the Qin army camp. It was normal for the two armies to fight. Zhao Lin didn't care too much, but after a while, he realized something was wrong.

What came to my ears was not the familiar Zhao Yin, but the Qin army's continuous attacks.

Zhao Lin quickly sent someone to check it out. After some investigation, he immediately exposed his dream of getting promoted and making money. The Zhao army who went to attack the Qin camp was actually trapped in the two sides of the Qin army.

Moreover, the Qin army was definitely not what the information said, with only 10,000 or 20,000 soldiers, but from a distance it seemed that the mountains and fields were full of Qin troops. More than 20,000 Zhao soldiers were trapped in the middle as if they were about to be submerged. There were still a large number of Qin army cavalry on the periphery, and the Zhao army occasionally escaped from the siege and immediately rode their horses up and shot them.

The scouts sent by Zhao Lin were afraid that they would be discovered by the Qin army's outer cavalry. They just looked away for a few times and did not dare to approach the core of the battlefield, so they ran back immediately and reported to Zhao Lin what they saw and heard.

"General, please send troops to rescue the besieged soldiers quickly. When the general arrives in person, it will surely inspire the morale of our soldiers. Our army attacks him from the rear of the Qin army. In the chaos of the Qin army, it will surely tear a gap and rescue the remaining deployments." When he heard the reward of the scout who went to investigate, the veteran Zhao army general Li Qing immediately suggested to arrive.

Zhao Lin still had an army on the periphery, which was indeed something Ziying and Wang Jian had not expected before. No one expected that Zhao Lin, as the chief general of the first army, would be afraid of death and hide behind and not go to the battlefield, and would leave a 5,000-strong army to protect himself.

Zhao Lin was not there, and Zhao's army ordered many troops to go out on the front line. Although the Qin army's annihilation plan was extremely smooth, it also left a hidden danger. If the remaining five thousand men caught the Qin army off guard from the rear, although it could not determine the outcome of the war, the Qin army was not prepared and it was very likely that a gap would be opened by the Zhao army, which made it difficult to achieve the goal of annihilation of the Zhao army.

It can also be said that Zhao Lin was unintentionally planting willows, leaving the Zhao army with hope that they would not be completely wiped out.

However, Zhao Lin almost did not think about it at all when the Zhao army was alive and ordered: "The whole army retreated!" He did not care about riding a car and ordered his servants to help him ride a war horse and evacuate first.

Zhao army on the front line was with him Zhao Linhe. When the sky collapsed, there was a tall man holding him over. He was also the first to hold Zhao Cong accountable. A gentleman did not stand under the dangerous wall, and five thousand men went to fight with tens of thousands of Qin troops. If he was not careful, he would tell him there.

It's still my life that matters. When the Qin army strangled the Zhao army at the forefront, if the Qin army found out that this unit was, I would definitely not be able to get it.

The old general was anxious when he saw Zhao Lin's actions. The withdrawal of the army would be equivalent to abandoning all the Zhao army on the front line and giving it to the Qin army soldiers as their military title.

He immediately rushed forward and blocked Zhao Lin's front.

"General, you can't leave! Once we retreat like this, the soldiers in front will have no way to survive." The veteran general Li Qingqing said with deep thought.

Zhao Lin, who was eager to escape, did not care about these things. In his opinion, he continued to stay here. When the Qin army came to his senses, he would definitely be unable to save his life. The lives of some soldiers would be as valuable as his own.

"Okay, you want to save people, and I want to die. I will help you. I will give you a horse (100 people). Now I order you to rescue the besieged Zhao army immediately."
